After installing openvpn I noticed tap0 getting a dhcp address as well. In /etc/network/interfaces I changed dhcp to static. Now I wanted to restart the tap0 device with ifup Ifdown but these commands are not available . So is there a way to restart network/interfaces without rebooting?
If you really wanted to dig into connman, you are able to use `connmanctl`, but I think what you are looking for is to have connman just ignore the tap interface.
You can modify `/etc/connman/main.conf` and add your interface to the `NetworkInterfaceBlacklist` field. The line will looks something like this: `NetworkInterfaceBlacklist = LeafNets,docker,veth,zt,tap`
After that configuration saved, you will need to restart the connman service: `systemctl restart connman.service`
Note: Since this is a system service, the configuration file will be overwritten with the firmware updates. I will see if we can add the tap to the blacklist in a future firmware release.
You could run `ifconfig tap0 down` and `ifconfig tap0 up`. Since you are looking into the network settings of the NAS, you may need to look into the connman settings for that interface.
So, I tried ifconfig but I still get a dhcp address , the only solution I found that is working until a reboot is to reconfigure the tap interface from the admin page .. Which is not satisfactory at all because it only sticks till a reboot

thank you for this answer, I hope you are able to add the tap interface to the blacklist. In the mean time I will backup the existing conf and make a new one using your advice!
